before our time
before high mountains grew from void
or rivers sprang from cotton roots
there was a seed
naught could impede
destined to bleed
to set its creed
before eve’s fruit the morning cloyed
i knew you bore love’s attributes
before night came to cloak the day
or sunlight knew horizon blush
i felt the need
to intercede
lest lust and greed
dark passions feed
until their tentacles find play
to bridle hope by vile ambush
before you sat across from me
so innocent of my approach
faith guaranteed
‘twas no misdeed
you should concede
to fill my need
before our time i had the key:
your love would save me from reproach

Ah! I love your Odessa poetry! This is a testament to the power of love to maintain purity!

Thank you, Ahavati!
You know me very well! Even without me mentioning Odessa, you can detect poems themed around her. That is something I truly appreciate -- your sensitivity to the inner workings of my thoughts and likely intentions.
You are spot-on of course.
Yours sincerely
